Bubble Burst!

Event 1: $350 + $50 DS NL (2 re-entry)

With 73 players remaining, it was bubble-time and play went hand-for hand. On the third hand, a player at table one ran his AK into pocket Kings and busted, earning 73rd place and the honor of being this event's bubble-boy.

Across the room at table 7, another short-stack got it in with pocket Tens, only to discover he was up against pocket Queens. The Queens held up and another player busted, earning $716 for 72nd place.

The next eight players out will also collect $716.

As expected, once the bubble burst the all-ins ramped up. Three more players have departed, leaving 68 still in the hunt for the $57k top prize.
